Using dehumidification in shipyards has been a widely accepted practice for three decades. A lot has been learned and techniques have become much more sophisticated but the basic goal of preserving the blasted steel and creating the right conditions for coatings application remains the same. This paper discusses how various combinations of desiccant dehumidification, heating and cooling equipment have been utilized properly and some examples of when things did not work out so well.
One of the greatest problems facing the flooring industry is moisture vapor emission associated with concrete floors. Coatings blister and peel, wood flooring warps and buckles, adhesives fail to perform and carpet grows mold costing millions of dollars in claims, repairs and serviceability issues. This paper will discuss the causes, evaluation and mitigation methods to address this issue.
